Goodbye

Our time was short

not aged like wine

The truth was plucked

from the vine

And I never got the chance

to say goodbye

 

 

The thoughts hold on

The heart despairs

The ghost of you

is everywhere

And I will always be next to and

. . . near you

 

so goodbye . . . farewell . . . goodbye

 

The day begins

just like it ends

Is it God's good will

it came to end

But my loneliness

shouts out in vain

 

So when something ends

it's time to begin

I won't be looking behind . . .

it's just the wind

And my arms are aching

from the pain

 

Goodbye . . . so goodbye

fare thee well

 

So go on now . . . cut your losses

Close the fact inside the coffin

Take the key and

lock it deep inside

 

Learn how to say your prayers

Long for the day without the cares

The evening air comes on now so chilling

 

Say goodbye , goodbye now . . . forevermore

 

Goodbye . . .

you've closed the door

 

With every step I'm feeling

Where once so firm I'm reeling

from the overburden

of my motal ways

 

So just release my last goodbye

Don't even dare to ask me why

The chances are cast

the lot now devided

 

. . . so goodbye . . . goodbye . . .

. . . goodbye . . . fare thee well . . .
